01:15:17 <[Leary]> AskYourself[m]: XMonad is actually easier to use on NixOS than on any other distro; there need be nothing more too it than setting that option, though you probably also want `xmonad.enableContribAndExtras`. You just put your xmonad.hs in the usual place and it will be built and used.
01:16:03 <[Leary]> But since apparently that's not the case here, you'll have to tell us more about what exactly you're seeing, like what compile errors you get from your config.
01:17:49 <AskYourself[m]> [Leary]: I did get it working eventually. But I really appreciate the reply. The problem was to do with GHC version on path not having right Xmonad and Xmonad contrib. The FP server helped me solve it.
01:19:06 <AskYourself[m]> It really is amazing on NixOS. So freaking cool to be able to just run colmena apply and then have xmonad immediately fully functional on any PC I want. 😄
01:29:24 <[Leary]> It won't actually use whatever GHC is on the path, but all is well if you've got it working.
01:30:40 <AskYourself[m]> I may be mis-describing the error. Sorry. But yes, got it working.

16:45:51 <thyriaen> Whenever I move a window to my other screen it get's put "under" the current ( tabbed layout ) screen and not on top. I would like to always put it on the top :: here is my config: https://paste.tomsmeding.com/HJEkqvov
16:46:04 liskin[m] joins (~liskinmat@2001:470:69fc:105::768)
16:48:03 <geekosaur> odd, that should cause it to go on top. but you can try XMonad.Hooks.InsertPosition and add to the manageHook: insertPosition Above Newer

17:31:42 <kora9> When I click on a trayer tray icon some applications will show a context menu that doesn't consist of anything but "show the application". Is it possible to simply open the application instead?
17:31:59 × srz quits (~srz@179.36.96.129) (Ping timeout: 264 seconds)
17:32:40 <geekosaur> I think that's up to the application that registered the tray item
17:36:46 <kora9> geekosaur: Yeah, there's no hacky way to override it?
17:37:58 <kora9> I was thinking it might be best to disable the tray functionality of the apps (most has that feature) and instead hide them in xmonad
17:38:16 <kora9> That way xmonad would have more control over it
17:38:40 <kora9> I could probably create a fake tray for hidden windows too
17:39:59 <geekosaur> https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.17.1/docs/XMonad-Layout-Drawer.html ?
18:07:50 <kora9> geekosaur: Hmm. I currently am trying to use this: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.17.1/docs/XMonad-Util-NamedScratchpad.html
18:13:41 <geekosaur> sure, that should work too
18:17:53 <kora9> geekosaur: Does xmonad have some native feature similar to labels and autogrouping in wm's like cwm (i think it's called 'tagging' sometimes also?)
18:18:42 <kora9> I'm aware that I can set actions based on xprop properties, like I do with 'float' for some types of windows and I guess you could code groups based on that. Just wondering if there was some native functionality for it
18:19:06 <geekosaur> https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.17.1/docs/XMonad-Actions-TagWindows.html ?
18:22:18 <kora9> geekosaur: Oh that's perfect! Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks :) I'm pretty amazed that xmonad has everything I'm looking for. At worst it seems like I'm just limited by my own haskell knowledge

20:38:02 × noex quits (~null@user/noex) (Quit: :q!)
20:43:59 <AskYourself[m]> Any idea why it would be that xmonad will only show up as an option at login if I have plasma enabled? When I turn plasma off I no longer see "none+xmonad".
